Ethnic groups[edit]

According to the article: "The ethnic composition of Saudi citizens is 90% Arab and 10% Afro-Asian."

However, there are:

2.7 million Pakistan nationals in Saudi Arabia: https://www.arabnews.pk/node/1496861/pakistan
2.5 million Bangladesh nationals in Saudi Arabia: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-pacific/over-217-bangladeshi-workers-deported-from-saudi-arabia/1711803#
2,594,947 overseas Indians in Saudi Arabia: https://mea.gov.in/images/attach/NRIs-and-PIOs_1.pdf

According to [1]: "More than 30 per cent of Saudi Arabia’s population of 28 million are thought to be non-nationals."

So the ethnic composition in the current version of the article seems wrong. How could we correct it? A455bcd9 (talk) 19:05, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The people in these groups are almost surely not Saudi citizens, so it's not a contradiction. 72.197.54.15 (talk) 17:20, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. The current sentence is limited to Saudi citizens and probably reflects the reality. However there are many non citizens among the population and they should be mentioned as well. A455bcd9 (talk) 06:08, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
